Across from Cannes

Across from Cannes 

We visited Antibes, France two years ago and took a boat to this island where there was once a prison. Somethings wrong here.  This was the scene from the beach looking back at Cannes.  The colors in the French Rivera are so beautiful with blues, pinks and lavenders. 

This will be on display at my show at the Apple Gallery at Stokes Art Council beginning Aug 1, ending Aug 31, 2018 with an reception on Aug 10 at 5:30-8:00 pm.  

The painting is NFS until show is over.

Grapes and Hollyhocks

Grapes and Hollyhocks

I loved all the Hollyhocks in France! I guess they grow like weeds since you see them everywhere. This was painted from a 2014 photo from Le Vieux Couvant where I took a painting trip with 18 new friends and Dreama Tolle Perry.  This was painted recently from a photo and painted on stretched canvas.  Just trying everything out to see what I like to paint on the most.  I painted a similar one on site but can't seem to part with that one just because of the memories it brings back.
These paintings are in a show right now which is why they are NFS.

I painted this from a visit to Reynolda Gardens.  It's only about a mile from the house and I loved this nature scene in the early spring.

Peach Basket

Peach Basket

I painted this from a trip to Bluffton's Farmer's Market last summer.  It will be available at the Enrichment Center show in Winston Salem that opens Friday 7/26/2018.  I am the guest artist for their Culinary show, so my works will be centered around fruits and vegetables.  I'll be posting more for that show.  I also have a one-person show starting August 1, 2018 at the Apple Gallery at the Stokes County Arts Council.  Since these two shows are running at the same time, I will have a variety of my other paintings at the Apple Gallery.  More to come.
